Topics I've Started

Smooth Scrolling

Sun May 5, 2013 9:25 PM

So I was just playing some Tutankham for ColecoVision for the HSC and I was reminded of how choppy scrolling can be on the Coleco.  

I was wondering, what sort of hardware was necessary back in the day to enable smooth scrolling and was it so expensive that some systems decided to go without?

I'd also like to compile a list in this thread of the early systems (consoles *and* computers) that were incapable and capable of smooth scrolling.  I'll start it off.  If others who know could please add to (or correct) the list.

Incapable:

- ColecoVision/ADAM

Capable:

- NES
- SMS
- TG16/PC-Engine
- Genesis
- SNES

Is Conker's Bad Fur Day really worth $150?

Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:55 PM

So I discovered a classic game store at a nearby mall the other day.  They even had a "Bentley" video game system that I had never heard of before.  No Atari Lynx though.  Boo.

The prices though seemed a little high to me.  Is Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64 really worth $150?  Is this normal?

2D Nintendo 64 Games?

Tue Feb 5, 2013 7:14 PM

What are the best 2D Nintendo 64 games?  Were there any 2D Nintendo 64 games?  The only ones I remember playing were 3D.

Also, what were the Nintendo 64's 2D capabilities like?  Compared to PlayStation?  Compared to Saturn?  Is there any good reason why we didn't see more 2D games on the platform?

Did you copy most of your computer games/software back in the day?

No judging going on here.  Nor am I trying to have a debate about intellectual property and piracy.  I'm just curious.  How many of you actually purchased most of your computer games/software back in the classic era and how many of you copied most of the stuff for your computer.

Votes are private.

Missing Lynx HSC Subforum?

Sun Dec 9, 2012 12:46 AM

Has anyone else noticed that there is no link to the Lynx HSC subforum in the High Score Clubs forum?

Perhaps a mod should add it.
